ment Of the Missouri which has just com
pleted its competitive shoot, the highest
for two days 52I, and the highest score
for one day IL.

The Cattle Situation.

An Old cattlemsn says the cattle crop
has been "fooled away" this year st low
prices, simply because feeders and ship
pers have been demorelized. He thinks
that if it had not been for the panicky
feeling among feeders and ship
pers that the big supplies could
have been worked OF at much smaller
sacrifice than has been necessary. 1t must
be remembered, however, that money has
been scarce for 8 year OF two and that
nearly al feeders counted with
reasonable expectation on prices be-
ing higher in the spring than
they were last winter. The big supplies,
however, and the depressed foreign mark
cts all tended to make our beef cattle
market dropping one. Prices continued
to go down and down until feed
ers cot tired Of hoping against
hope, and then the drouth which short
eneu both water and grass was the last
straw which broke the cancels Oeck.
The receipts were the heaviest on rec
ord and prices last week were the low
est they have been in many years.
When the receipts began to drop of, he ~
ever, the market recovered at once and
responded so quickly to the lighte ned
Iosd that dealers have all taken great
deal Of fresh hope, and nearly all agree
that not only the worst has been passed
but we shall have decidedly better
prices for good cattle before long,
During the past six days prices fol-
good cattle have advanced 80 cents pei
cwt. which is pretty good gain, consid-
ering all things. The drouth, however.
continues, and as grass and water are
very short, vast numbers of cattle that
should be held snd fed some time, viii
be crowded to market Chicago Droy

Fort Worth is the headquarters OF more
live stock agents for various railroads
than any city IN Texas. They are an IN
commonly clever lot of gentlemen, be-
tween whom competition for business en-
genders not the slightest personal i'll
feeling. 1t is true that Capern Of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and Nes-
bit of the Chicago and Alton are forever
disputipg as 10 the magnitude OF the
business done By their respective roads,
but they always wind up with g "smie."
Ms jlr j. NJ. Cummins Of Purcell, |. T.,
travelling agent for the Kansas City Stock
Yards, is in town. Msjor Cummins was
interviewed in Kansas City the other day
by Times reporter, and among other
things said: ave have general Idea that
there Is an over production OF cattle, and
the owners are shipping off many young
cattle and old cows. By this means the
cattle will be run out to such an extent
that the supply on the market next season
will be greatly reduced. II hard winter
should strike the northwest cattle would
be cattle eglin in s year or two. The
cattlemen have all been hard run on &C
count Of the drouth and low prices, and
many OF them hav9 failed, but
they still hope for better times.
Ms Or Cummins is quite right about the
over production. Every beef producer
in the land has caught on to that. And
1t Is this over production that has led in
great measure to the low prices
that and the combination
by eastern buyers. Yet it car
not be always this wsy even
if "hsrd winter" does not decimate the
herds in the northwest. The idea i:
prevalent that the worst is over, and far
seeing men predict reaction at ne
distant day that will make cattle once
more worth owning, even il not up to TIT
old boom prices.
